ELECTRIC MOBILITY IN LOGISTICS is not like a piece of furniture that you put in place and forget about. Two examples from Graubünden and Zug show how implementation can be successful—with an eye on connectivity, with a control system that takes decisions off your hands, and with generation that helps on site.

CLEMAP has already achieved a significant market share in Switzerland with its modular platform for the precise, manufacturer-independent control of energy flows.

As a point of contact for all topics related to charging electric vehicles in Switzerland, LadenPunkt also supports innovative pilot projects by startups and companies in the field of charging infrastructure.

Charging more slowly depending on power availability to stabilize the grid: Sounds good, but will electric car drivers accept the longer charging times? The company CLEMAP is investigating this question in a pilot project.

The number of electric vehicles registered in Switzerland is set to increase significantly in the future. One project proposes aggregating the flexibility gained by modulating the charging power of a large number of vehicles when they are parked in one place for a long time in order to leverage all of this flexibility on the balancing energy market.

Otto Fischer AG faced challenges in managing its diverse charging infrastructure. The task was to integrate a wide variety of charging stations and adapt the charging processes to PV power production. The solution came in the form of an advanced energy management system from Clemap.

The fact that there are still unanswered questions regarding charging infrastructure, including bidirectional charging, became clear at the Charging Forum on March 14, 2024. It also became clear that there are various solutions that answer some of these questions. For example, the question of how growing electromobility can ensure that the grid does not collapse under the new load.

Clemap uses intelligent current and voltage sensors to evaluate the electrical footprints of devices in the power grid. In this interview, Clemap co-founder, CEO, and product developer Gino Agbomemewa talks about the successes and challenges of his startup.

Highlighting Switzerland's best start-ups active in the field of smart energy use: that is the goal of the second edition of the Smart Energy Start-up Pitch Contest. This event will be held on August 30 as part of the^14th edition of the Smart Energy Event at the Energypolis Campus in Sion.

Discussions on the current energy crisis, circularity, and climate change have remained a priority for several large organizations and governments. They have designed programs to promote and recognize new solutions that tackle these challenges. Two startups whose technologies stand out have won prizes.

Clemap and Otto Fischer AG win the Watt d'Or 2024 award for their intelligent charging solution.

A look back at the Smart Energy 2023 event.

Electric car batteries offer flexibility. This can be used to reduce the load on the power grid at critical moments. It also promotes the transition to decarbonized mobility by prioritizing the charging of vehicles during periods of high renewable energy production. Opportunities and unanswered questions.

The new segment of the Venture Leaders roadshow takes ten selected startups to Munich to explore the international market and the potential of their businesses. The 10 nominees reduce human-made negative environmental impact by increasing energy efficiency, developing sustainable resources production systems, or bolstering environmental protection.

Zurich-based CLEMAP has attracted national and international collaborations for its end-to-end energy platform in Smart Grid, Smart Factory, and Smart Building markets. Proceeds from its funding round will help advance its B2B IoT energy platform and accelerate market entry. A newly appointed Board of Directors will support the startup's new growth phase.

The SmartGridready association reaches another milestone: the first companies receive official confirmation of their self-declaration for systems with the "SmartGridready" label.

Numerous Swiss startups among Solar Impulse's 1000+ sustainable solutions April 16, 2021 Bertrand Piccard and the Solar Impulse Foundation have officially surpassed their target of identifying and awarding 1000 clean and profitable solutions with the Solar Impulse Label. More than 1100 solutions worldwide have received the Label.

The world of startups is often mysterious to those who don't know it. Gino Agbomemewa co-founded one, Clemap, which was awarded a Watt d'Or this year. He tells us about his journey, between uncertainty and satisfaction.
